10 Fragen an/10 questions to: Fleur Jolley
1. Wie/womit haben dich diese Radsport-Verrückten geködert? What has brought you to this race?
I have several German friends who talked about this friendly, well established and organised race in Bavaria. So it was a chance for me to catch up with friends in Munich on my way through to the French Alps, while enjoying the best sport in the world watching yet another bike race.
2. Welche Aufgabe(n) hast du bei der Bayern Rundfahrt? What is your role within the Bayern Rundfahrt Team?
Assisting Tilman with English updates, exchanging stories with the Team Managers in cars, like Thomas of Corratec, waving flags in the middle of the road to stop the riders crashing into the sign posts as they fly down the hill towards the finish in stage 2 doing and tomorrow in the Medical car (hopefully doing very little as the riders will not crash or need medical assistance with an injury and pain free day )
3. Wie viele Stunden bist du während der Rundfahrt täglich im Einsatz? How many hours a day are you busy?
About 5 hours, depart to arrive.
4. Hast du einen Lieblings-Radprofi? Do you have a favourite cyclist?
Personal favourite(s) are Lance Armstrong, for all he has done for cancer awareness using the sport for a higher cause and George Hincapie, the gentleman of the peloton.
5. Wem drückst du bei der Bayern Rundfahrt 2010 die Daumen? Who do you cheer for in this race?
Favourite rider(s) here at Bayern Rundfahrt would probably have to include all Australian riders :-) and then Edvald Boasson, a great young talent and inspiring for the sport.
6. Was machst du nebenberuflich, also von Juni bis etwa Ende April? What is your job back home?
Back home in Sydney I am the Sponsorship & Marketing Manager for Coca Cola sponsorships, looking after the Olympics, Rugby World Cup and FIFA World Cup. We also are a major sponsor of the Tour Down Under, first race on the Pro Tour calendar each year, held in Adelaide, Australia. Prior to working for Coca Cola, I was the Country Manager for Powerbar, owned by Nestle, hence heavily involved with the sponsorship of Tour de France, Ironman etc.
7. Wie lange möchtest du dir die Bayern Rundfahrt noch antun? Will you continue your role within the next few years?
Loving this race in Bavaria so may just have to come back next year?
